Day 1
Arrive Moreton-in-Marsh.
You arrive in the 13th century market town of Moreton-in-Marsh which you will have time to explore.
Day 2
Moreton-in-Marsh to Chipping Campden 30 miles.
Your cycling for the day starts with a visit to the Rollright Stones, a lesser-known stone circle. From the Rollrights its a lovely ride to Hidcote Manor Garden, one of England’s finest formal gardens, before reaching the ancient wool town of Chipping Campden, thought by many to be the most beautiful of all Cotswold market towns.
Day 3
Round trip to Stratford 27 miles.
From Chipping Campden it’s a short ride to Stratford-upon-Avon, home of William Shakespeare, his sweetheart Ann Hathaway and John Harvard founder of the American University. Visit Shakespeare's birthplace, and then take advantage of our exclusive free admission into a second "Shakespeare" property before returning to Chipping Campden for your overnight stay.
Day 4
Chipping Campden to Moreton-in-Marsh 25 or 36 miles.
Your final ride explores the area surrounding Broadway. At Humblebee How secure your bikes and set foot for Belas Knap, the finest example of a false-entrance long barrow in the Cotswolds. The view from the top is spectacular and worth the climb. Winchcombe is a Saxon settlement and neighbouring Sudeley Castle, once home to Catherine Parr (wife of Henry VIII), has a thousand years of history to uncover. Finally make your way back to Moreton-in-Marsh for your homeward journey.
